摘要:
A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets has a unique mounting mechanism for easy assembly. The contact structure is formed of a contactor carrier and a plurality of contactors. The contactor carrier includes a sliding layer for locking the contactors on the contactor carrier. The contactor has an upper end having a cut-out to engage with the sliding layer, a lower end oriented in a direction opposite to the upper end and functions as a contact point for electrical connection with a contact target, and a diagonal beam portion provided between the upper end and the lower end to function as a spring.

A contact structure for establishing electrical connection with contact targets. The contact structure is formed of a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors. The contactor has a tip portion at one end of the contactor to contact with the contact target, a base portion at another end of the contactor which is inserted in a through hole provided on the contact substrate in such a way that an end of the contactor functions as a contact pad for electrical connection at a surface of the contact substrate, and a spring portion provided between the tip portion and the base portion which produces a contact force when the contactor is pressed against the contact target.

A method of producing a contact structure having contactors on a semiconductor substrate by a microfabrication technology for achieving an electrical connection with a contact target. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate made of dielectric or semiconductor material; forming an interconnect trace on the substrate either by deposition or plating; applying microfabrication processes for forming a contactor having a base portion vertically formed on the interconnect trace, a horizontal portion whose one end is formed on the base portion and a contact portion vertically formed on another end of the horizontal portion, and attaching a sphere contact to a top end of the contact portion of the contactor.

A pick and place mechanism for assembling a large number of contactors on a contact substrate. The pick and place mechanism includes a first area for positioning an intermediate plate having a plurality of contactors thereon, a second area for positioning the contact substrate for receiving the contactors thereon, a carrier provided between the first and second areas for converting a direction of the contactor to a predetermined direction when receiving the contactor on a seat having an inclined back wall and a flat bottom surface, a first transfer mechanism for picking the contactor from the intermediate plate and placing the contactor on the seat of the carrier, a second transfer mechanism for picking the contactor from the seat of the carrier while maintaining the predetermined direction of the contactor defined by the carrier and placing the contactor on the contact substrate.
摘要:
A contact structure for achieving an electrical connection with a contact target is formed of a contact substrate and a plurality of contactors mounted on the contact substrate. The contactors are produced on a semiconductor substrate or other dielectric by a microfabrication technology. Each of the contactors has a contact bump to contact with the contact target. In one aspect, one of the base portions of the contactor is slidably formed on the surface of the contact substrate. A spring force is generated when the contactor is pressed against the contact target. Various types of contact structures and the associated production methods are also described.
